5.0 out of 5 starsBest Chocolate in the world
I was on the lookout for proper dark chocolate and the best I can get here in normal stores is either Green and Blacks 85% or Lindt 90%. Which are both good, but I just wanted a 99% or 100% cocoa chocolate without any added sugar. And since I had Zotter chocolate before (this brand is just amazing in general!), I was eager to try them out.All I can say is, oh my...

3.0 out of 5 starsA bit of a smokey aftertaste but better than sugary chocolate
It was a good exploration into unsweetened chocolate. I think I'll be exporing different brands next though as there must be other bean tastes that I might prefer. Beautiful artwork and a big need for more unsweetened chocolate.

I was on the lookout for proper dark chocolate and the best I can get here in normal stores is either Green and Blacks 85% or Lindt 90%. Which are both good, but I just wanted a 99% or 100% cocoa chocolate without any added sugar. And since I had Zotter chocolate before (this brand is just amazing in general!), I was eager to try them out.All I can say is, oh my god! From opening to tasting, they are just perfect. So you open them, see a nice little written note, on how to eat (or savor) chocolate properly. Then you have to rip open some golden paper to see a bar with an amazing Logo and the name Zotter "printed" on it. From the first moment on, you can already smell the mild, amazing cocoa bean. Zotter himself writes, this is the mildest cocoa bean he has come across in his life and he is certainly not wrong. The moment you put the chocolate on your tongue and it slowly start to melt, there is just an explosion of this amazing, mild cocoa taste, definitely not what you expect from a 100% cocoa chocolate. And then, after you have savored on this great taste, it just stays in your mouth for 5-10 minutes.

I really don't want any other chocolate anymore after this one. So for everyone who likes dark chocolate, get this healthy bar and enjoy it.

This tastes amazing. I was looking for something after Hotel Chocolat stopped producing the black label 100%- and this is better.Value for money, you get a lot of chocolate sent. There is no bitterness or after taste with this chocolate (as there is with Hotel Chocolat). You only need to eat a small amount for a real chocolate hit. My only issue is that even my kids like it, so it might disappear more quickly!

This is the second pack I've bought. I've tried one bar so far and it tastes sharper - slightly more tangy - than the bars I had in the first pack. It is still wonderful, just a little different. I notice that the conching time has been increased to 34 hours from 24 hours. I guess this means that the Peruvian cocoa beans needed more taming this time. I think it's a good thing that a natural product should reflect the variability of the ingredients.

This chocolate is to be savoured in little bits for sure.You will not get fat.Instead each bit is like a little taste explosion in your mouth.There is no sugar.Next time the EU wants to rebrand Cadbury's as "Chocolate flavoured candy" you will find yourself agreeing.It really is quite an eye opener.Not for everyone though - it seems to split opinion. Some people just can't handle it.If you like things a bit different (and you probably do as you're reading this) then buy some.
